                         CC is OFA Cardiac Normal and CERF'd.

CC is the joy of my life and my bed dog. In the show ring, she earned BOTH majors with Group Firsts.

As a special, CC was a Top 10 whippet, entirely owner-handled. Over the course of her specials career(1.5 years, plus some select shows in 05 & 06), CC won over 55 Best Of Breeds, 25 Group placements, 4 Group Firsts, and 5 American Whippet Club Awards of Merit.

Of those AOMs, two of them were back to back first selects at the AWC National Specialty, under Breeder Judges - Annie Clark(2005) and Bo Bengtson(2006).

The other AOMs came at the North Central Specialty, with a 1st AOM, under Mrs. Betty Stites(2004), and the final two AOMs were not ordered by the judges(North Central Specialty - Mrs. Mary Beth Arthur 2005, Mrs. Cindy Scott 2006).

At the 2006 American Whippet Club North Central Specialty(her last show as a special), CC took an Award Of Merit on Friday, and Best Of Breed on Sunday over 73 Whippets under Carol Duffy on route to a Group 1.

As a Veteran, CC is finally able to show again, and in August of 2008 re-entered the ring at the AWC North Central Specialty. CC was awarded Best Veteran in Sweepstakes, won her Veterans class, and earned her FOURTH Award Of Merit at this show, and SIXTH overall select, under Mr. Michael J. Dougherty.

On Aril 11th, 2009 at the American Whippet Club National Specialty, CC places 1st in the 7-10 Veteran Bitch class and goes on to take 2nd Award of Merit under Mr. Magnus Hagstedt. This was CC's third AWC National since finishing her championship and her third Award of Merit at a National(2005, 2006, 2009).

Following her performance at the 2009 National, CC entered the AWC North Central specialty as an 8 year old Veteran. Under judges Angie Diehl(Nysa Hill Whippets) and Nancy Billups(Cloud9 Whippets), CC took back-to-back Best Veteran in Sweeps. Over CC's career she competed numerous times against Moxi (owned my Angie Diehl) and Smooch (owned by Nancy Billups) and it meant so much to be able to present CC to them in their sweeps ring for their evaluation. Perhaps even more special was being able to show CC to Iva Kimmelman who "introduced" CC to the Whippet world at the 2003 AWC National by awarding her 1st in the Open Bitch Class. Thank you, Mrs. Kimmelman, for giving CC her 8th Award of Merit at an AWC Sponsored Specialty. Since CC is only able to show at stand alone specialties, our time in the ring together means so much.

CC's 9th AWC Award of Merit, and FOURTH at a National came at the 2010 American Whippet Club National Specialty under Mr. Russell McFadden, (Timbrel Whippets).

On August 27th, 2010 CC received her 10th AWC Award of Merit from Breeder Judge, Lori Nelson (Wildfire Whippets) at the AWC North Central Specialty. CC also took back-to-back Best Veteran In Sweeps under Breeder Judges Jenny Boyd (Ableaim Whippets) and Debbie Davenport (Kamada Whippets).

At the age of 9, CC is awarded her 10th Award of Merit at the American Whippet Club North Central Specialty:

8/27/2010 - AWC North Central Specialty - Best Veteran In Sweeps - Jenny Boyd (Ableaim Whippets)
8/27/2010 - AWC North Central Specialty - 1st Award Of Merit - Lori Nelson (Wildfire Whippets)
8/28/2010 - St Croix Valley KC - Best Veteran In Sweeps - Debbie Davenport (Kamada Whippets)

Words can not express how amazing this weekend was to me. Being awarded back-to-back Best Veteran In Sweeps for the second year in a row, under two breeder judges I respect and admire so much, and then to receive CC's 10th AWC Award of Mertit in front of so many wonderful friends... I am honored. Thank you from the bottom of my heart.

At 8 years young, CC steps back into the ring at the American Whippet Club North Central Specialty:

8/21/2009 - AWC North Central Specialty - Best Veteran In Sweeps - Angie Diehl (Nysa Hill Whippets)
8/21/2009 - AWC North Central Specialty - 1st Award Of Merit - Iva Kimmelman (Merci Isle Whippets)
8/22/2009 - St Croix Valley KC - Best Veteran In Sweeps - Nancy Billups (Cloud9 Whippets)

What an honor to be able to show to these three breeder judges. Over CC's career she competed numerous times against Moxi (owned by Angie Diehl) and Smooch (owned by Nancy Billups) and it meant so much to be able to present CC to them in their sweeps ring for their evaluation. Perhaps even more special was being able to show CC to Iva Kimmelman who "introduced" CC to the Whippet world at the 2003 AWC National by awarding her 1st in the Open Bitch Class. Thank you, Mrs. Kimmelman, for giving CC her 8th Award of Merit at an AWC Sponsored Specialty. Since CC is only able to show at stand alone specialties, our time in the ring together means so much.
